A TELEVISION documentary would show Prince Harry following in his mother's footsteps by working with people affected by AIDS, a royal spokeswoman said today.

The Forgotten Kingdom: Prince Harry In Lesotho was filmed during the 19-year-old prince's eight-week stay in the tiny southern African kingdom earlier this year.

He spent part of the time volunteering at a home for children orphaned by AIDS.

Almost a third of Lesotho's two million people are thought to be infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Harry's mother, Princess Diana, did extensive work for AIDS charities before her death in a car crash in 1997.

A spokeswoman for Harry's Clarence House office said the prince, who graduated from high school last year and plans to take entrance exams for Sandhurst military academy, "was really affected by his experience there and by the people he met".

"He hopes that his visit and now the film will help to raise awareness and money to help tackle the problems faced by people in Lesotho." The film is scheduled to be shown on Britain's ITV network later this month, although an exact date was not announced.

Looks to me as though Harry has learned both from his Mum and from the Royals. These people need help but make it "hands on" and don't just turn up for the photo opportunity. Great Work Harry!

You sure about that? Which bit of the Coronation Oath are you thinking about?

There is no actual wording that says that the British Monarch cannot abdicate; however, when the monarch is anointed with holy oil at the coronation, he/she is consecrated for life, as a Christian tradition, when you’re consecrated it means you're in that role for life. But that doesn't mean the Queen couldn't abdicate. She could abdicate her roles and duties to Prince Charles, however, she couldn't abdicate being Sovereign. So Charles could perform all the Queen's duties but she would continue to be head of state until she dies.

There maybe a day when British Monarchs abdicate like the Dutch monarchs have done in the past, Prince Charles has stated once or twice that he might abdicate after a few years of being King, but the present Queen sees it as her duty to reign until she dies.

Personally I am against abdication. And although the Queen has had her ups and down, overall she has been an excellent Queen. Long may she reign!!!

very true... the queen is a lady that the world looks up to... it just seems like a long way off till William is king... it would be hard knowing you have to wait for you grandmother and father to die before you take on the role...
